Limits to Cell Growth
• Which of the cells below would require a
higher demand of O2 and glucose, while
producing more CO2?
– Calculate the surface area to volume ratio of all
three to justify your answer.
Limits to Cell Growth
Surface Area
• Determines rate at which
materials are moved into &
out of the cell
Volume
• Determines rate at which
wastes are generated
